I nearly forgot it was Monday and time to make my weekly post! So last week I took a break from working on Chase's suit - we'd gotten the fabric ordered and it was scheduled to arrive Wednesday, so I took that time to do something fun before diving back into the horror that is men's tailoring. First set was some Avengers ears! Originally I was going to do a ...
So last week - I think it was Wednesday night - I had a complete and utter breakdown over the pants of Chase's suit, cried a little bit, and threw the mockup in the trash. The suit pattern I'm using - do you know how many pattern pieces are in the pants alone? About 25. The front pockets are 6 pieces each. 12 pieces all together just for the pockets. WTF. It was ...
It's been raining like crazy here the past couple of weeks. Which means it's been migraine city as the weather shifts back and forth. This weekend was rather uneventful. I mostly worked on Chase's suit since I was waiting on the new fabric for recutting the top of my dress. New fabric came in Friday but I was on a good roll with the suit so I didn't pause to ...
Another month & a half til vacation but I'm ready to go now. The past few days have been nuts, I'm tired of cold weather, and I want a vacation! Valentine's Day night, Chase cooked soup for dinner; he found a copycat recipe of Le Cellier's beer cheese soup and made it. Last time we tried this it made a HUUUUUGE amount and it wasn't great. But this time it ...
Ok this post is going to be whiny! Only because sewing was a pain in the butt this past week and then I had a DISASTER in my sewing room. But as usual let's start at the beginning. Last Monday we got Kevin's bed assembled! I'm hoping to paint it (the room not the bed) sooner rather than later. And get some curtains up in there - his room is ...
So guess what! I actually did some sewing over the weekend. Not a lot. And I didn't take any pictures. So uh... does it count? I'm not sure. Haha. But I'll get to that in a minute. Ok so first order of business is I saw a news story that The Princess Diaries is getting a 3rd movie. And that made me nostalgic for the books. I LOVED the books! ...
So it's been another week of unpacking and organizing. FUN TIMES. But the past week I've really dug in on the sewing room, which was equally fun and equally frustrating. One of the things I ran across that I didn't know what to do with was all of my CDs. I had a decent CD collection. But a lot of them was stuff I really don't care about anymore. Men ...
Starting off with the art today because I have it open so it's the easiest thing to post haha. This is based on a ROTS era concept. I tried it in some different colours but at the end of the day it's a battle outfit and having it be purple really wasn't working. I tried to keep some different tones in the greys so it wasn't totally grey and dreary ...
I really don't have a lot that is interesting today except MORE HOUSE STUFF... of course. I've been unpacking, organizing, breaking down boxes for a whole week but when I look around it's like I've done nothing. It's so frustrating LOL Tuesday at work last week was like, the day from hell... so I decided to go home and treat myself. Nana & Kristie got me this gorgeous display mannequin ...
At least I think it is. I'm too lazy to go look. So Thursday last week we TOOK POSSESSION OF OUR NEW HOUSE!! It was super exciting. I met Chase there as soon as I got off work, we had the alarm folks out to look at updating the alarm system that came with the house, and they got everything updated and ready to go on Friday. (it has an ...
